MPLCG0630L2R2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPLCG0630L2R2 is a 2.2 µH shielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by KEMET, rated for 8.2 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 19 mOhm. This surface mount component operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and is designed for low DCR, low loss applications requiring nonstandard form factors. The part is active in production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching or exceeding the critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 2.2 µH inductance at ±20% tolerance, minimum 8 A current rating, DC resistance at or below 20 mOhm, shielded construction, surface mount packaging, and compatible physical dimensions within the nonstandard category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria applied strictly to the provided parameters:

Inductance Match: All substitute parts must provide 2.2 µH inductance at ±20% tolerance, measured at 100 kHz test frequency.

Current Rating: Substitute parts must support a minimum continuous current rating of 8.0 A. The MPLCG0630L2R2 is rated for 8.2 A; substitutes rated at 8.0 A or higher are acceptable.

DC Resistance: Maximum DC resistance must not exceed 20 mOhm. The main part specifies 19 mOhm maximum; substitutes with 20 mOhm maximum DCR remain within acceptable operating parameters for low loss applications.

Shielding: All substitute parts must feature shielded construction to maintain electromagnetic isolation equivalent to the main part.

Mounting and Package: All parts must be surface mount components with nonstandard package classification and compatible physical dimensions (height ≤ 3.2 mm, length and width within 6.5–7.8 mm range).

Compliance: All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating to ensure compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols.

Operating Temperature: Substitutes must support the minimum operating range of -40°C to 125°C. Extended temperature ranges (such as -55°C or higher upper limits) are acceptable as they exceed the main part specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Highest Compatibility):

The SPM6530T-2R2M (TDK Corporation) is the closest functional equivalent to the MPLCG0630L2R2. Both parts share identical inductance (2.2 µH), current rating (8.2 A), DC resistance (19 mOhm maximum), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and core material classification (metal-based). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Physical dimensions are comparable within the nonstandard surface mount category. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the MPLCG0630L2R2 is specified.

Acceptable Substitutes (Electrical Parameters Within Specification):

The following parts meet all critical electrical parameters and are acceptable substitutes:

HCM0703-2R2-R and HCMA0703-2R2-R (Eaton): Both provide 2.2 µH inductance at 8.0 A rating with 20 mOhm maximum DCR. The HCMA0703-2R2-R includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) exceeds the main part specification. ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliant.
LMLP07A7M2R2DTAS (KYOCERA AVX): Provides 2.2 µH inductance at 8.0 A with 20 mOhm maximum DCR. Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) provides additional thermal margin. ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliant.
SRP7028A-2R2M (Bourns): Provides 2.2 µH inductance at 8.0 A with 20 mOhm maximum DCR. Includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and extended upper temperature limit (150°C). ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliant.
SRP7030-2R2M (Bourns): Provides 2.2 µH inductance at 8.0 A with 20 mOhm maximum DCR. Operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) matches the main part. ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliant.

Conditional Substitute (Moisture Sensitivity Consideration):

The SRP6540-2R2M (Bourns) provides superior electrical performance with 9.0 A current rating and 15.5 mOhm maximum DCR, exceeding the main part specifications. However, this part carries MSL 3 rating (168 hours) compared to the main part's MSL 1 (unlimited). This part is suitable only for applications where moisture sensitivity level 3 is acceptable within the manufacturing and storage environment.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and surface mount configuration required for the application category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the MPLCG0630L2R2 with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: The SPM6530T-2R2M is a direct equivalent requiring no circuit modifications. The HCM0703-2R2-R, HCMA0703-2R2-R, LMLP07A7M2R2DTAS, SRP7028A-2R2M, and SRP7030-2R2M are acceptable substitutes with identical inductance and compatible electrical parameters. The SRP6540-2R2M offers superior performance but requires verification of moisture sensitivity level compatibility with your manufacturing process.

Q: What is the significance of the 19 mOhm versus 20 mOhm DC resistance difference?

A: The MPLCG0630L2R2 specifies 19 mOhm maximum DCR. Substitute parts with 20 mOhm maximum DCR represent a 5% increase in maximum resistance. For low loss applications, this difference is within acceptable tolerance. If DCR is critical to circuit performance, the SPM6530T-2R2M (19 mOhm) or SRP6540-2R2M (15.5 mOhm) are preferred.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: All substitute parts are surface mount components in nonstandard package classifications. Physical dimensions vary slightly (length 7.1–7.8 mm, width 6.5–7.0 mm, height 3.0–4.0 mm). Verify PCB footprint compatibility before selection. The SRP6540-2R2M has a maximum height of 4.0 mm compared to 3.0 mm for most other parts.

Q: Which substitute part has the best temperature performance?

A: The LMLP07A7M2R2DTAS (KYOCERA AVX) provides the widest operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), offering 30°C additional margin above the main part at both temperature extremes. The SRP7028A-2R2M extends the upper limit to 150°C while maintaining the lower limit at -40°C.

Q: What does MSL 1 versus MSL 3 mean for my application?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control. MSL 3 requires storage in controlled humidity (≤60% RH) and has a 168-hour floor life after opening. The MPLCG0630L2R2 and most substitutes are MSL 1. The SRP6540-2R2M is MSL 3, requiring standard moisture-controlled storage practices.

Q: Can I use the SRP6540-2R2M as a drop-in replacement?

A: The SRP6540-2R2M provides superior electrical specifications (9.0 A rating, 15.5 mOhm DCR) and is electrically compatible. However, it carries MSL 3 rating and has a maximum height of 4.0 mm versus 3.0 mm for the main part. Verify PCB clearance and confirm that MSL 3 moisture sensitivity is acceptable for your manufacturing environment.

Q: Which substitute offers AEC-Q200 automotive qualification?

A: The HCMA0703-2R2-R (Eaton) and SRP7028A-2R2M (Bourns) both include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring automotive-grade component certification.

Q: How do I verify physical compatibility on my PCB?

A: Compare the seated height (maximum 3.0–4.0 mm), length (7.1–7.8 mm), and width (6.5–7.0 mm) against your PCB footprint design. All parts are nonstandard surface mount components; verify that your solder pads and component placement accommodate the specific dimensions of your selected substitute.
